THE SHOT — Former homosexual James Hartline, who was previously seen railing against Disneyland’s Gay Days, celebrates “pauses to give thanks to God” with his gaggle of righteousness geeks after shutting down his latest porn business on San Diego’s F Street, which Yugoslavian immigrant Gojko Vasic helped create in the 1970s. (For what it’s worth, we could not find any news report about a business closing there, nor does Hartline name the business.) Mr. Hartline, meanwhile, is no stranger to picketing anything gay and, uh, photographing the homeless.

As a San Diego resident who lives about a mile from where this picture was taken, I’m pretty sure this picture was from about 2 years ago… maybe 1 1/2 years The business in question was at the corner of University Ave. and Vermont, and was replaced by a nightclub called Universal, which is a nightclub that has gay and straight patronage. In fact, it advertises itself as a totally inclusive nightclub. It appears Mr. Hartline is lazy, since the building is near his apartment in the “Homosexual Stonghold” of Hillcrest and he didnt want to have to walk too far to promote his agenda.

I’m just waiting for his cruising to be made public.

I also live in San Diego and work near one of the two F streets here. Neither is going out of business.

Hartline is mentally ill, but usually doesn’t make stuff up without any basis.
Maybe some porn shop went under. It really is sort of surprising that any stay in business considering that you can get porn on the internet and lube at your local drugstore.

I thought there was no such thing as an ex-gay? Hartline has quite a blog, and spares no criticism of the activists he calls sexual anarchists.
